skidding.

can we sail to spain
– just me and you?
                                    [how I wish you could.]

see the potential
and we both go down together -
another party with the same kids;
I’m all tied up,
-- so sweet.

I can hardly speak
due to such trauma in my teeth.

stems and gears,
oh, how the daisies bloom!
and when my skies are gray
I can dim the lights
and sing you songs full of sad things.


so this is how it goes:
‘I don’t know –
she thinks I’m crazy.’

                                                                  ‘close your eyes and make believe--
                                                                  fly away on a plane,
                                                                  take photographs.

                                                                  take all your memories.’

‘babe, baby, baby,
I'm gonna leave
you.’


let’s turn the lights down low;
oh,
as I walk down the highway
all I do is sing this song.

I wanted you to know
I love the way you laugh;
I’ve got this feeling in my bones.

oh,
you left me with a broken heart
the person that you were has died:
looking at himself
but wishing he was someone else;
comparisons are easily done.


there’s a lady who’s sure
we were the words
that washed from the sand.

    I LOVE ! I love I love I love I love. Everything just seemed like it was made to be in the same poem ! I'm kind of speechless, to be honest. I think I'll just leave it at that

    Thanks for entering !
